sfgiantsflgators Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 Bonds getting closer. Can't wait to see the screenie of homer #756. Good dynasty, keep it up. Thank you sir...it's looking more and more like it's going to happen on the road. Maybe he can hold out until the Giants head into Oakland. Where is Pat Burrell? And can you please change the Phillies' line-up...coste should not be leading off. Burrell pulled a hamstring awhile back and has just returned. Bourn has been getting the start over him. I thought about changing their lineup as I usually try to keep it fairly realistic if I can; but judging by the way the series went, Phillies fans will be glad I didn't. I'll try to get the recaps up in the next day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I left for Vermont, Bonds tore a shoulder muscle...pretty much made me want to stop my greatness dynasty. I am learning GIMP, so we'll see how it goes.

sfgiantsflgators Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 June 1, 2007 Rowand's Grand Slam Overshadows Bonds' Chase Todd Linden put the Giants out in front quickly with a two-run home run in the first inning. Barry Bonds pulled within three home runs of Hank Aaron tonight with a two home run performance. Chase Utley grounded out with the bases loaded to end the third inning. The Phillies would fair much better the next time the bags were juiced. Shane Victorino drove in the first Phillies run of the game with a double in the fifth inning, scoring Rod Barajas from second. The Giants called on Steve Kline after Matt Cain gave up a single to Chris Coste to open the seventh inning. Kline surrendered singles to two of the three batters he faced, including an RBI single by Utley to bring the Phillies within one. Kevin Correia then entered the game to face Wes Helms with one out. Correia got Helms looking before Jimmy Rollins singled to load the bases. Giants manager Bruce Bochy kept Correia in to face the next hitter, Aaron Rowand; it would prove to be a disastrous decision as Rowand took him yard, giving Philadelphia an 8-5 lead that they would not relinquish. Scoring T1: Linden two run HR T3: Bonds two run HR T5: Bonds solo HR B5: Victorino double scores Barajas; Howard grounds out to second, Coste scores B6: Bourn single scores Rollins B7: Utley single scores Coste; Rowand GS W – Mathieson (1-0) L – Kline (2-3) S - Gordon (13) Player of the Game: Barry Bonds 2-4, 2 HR, 3 RBI For Boxscore, click here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfgiantsflgators Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 Bonds is doing great so far Not an impressive outing by Kline against the Phillies. Bonds looks healthy this season - had a scare there a few weeks back, but he's looking good now. As for Kline, his performance (and that of all the pitchers in this series) has me worried. I've been shopping around to bring in a solid offensive option to hit behind Barry, but to do that I'd have to give up some pitching. And if they don't perform better in the next few weeks, it's going to be hard to that. oh haha, woops, kinda makes me wanna turn them off, they look scary almost, like between innings when theyre just like staring at you Yeah, as Totte mentioned, I turned them off because it seems to help the overall performance. And, since they look like crap anyway, I don't miss them too much. Thanks for checking in though Also guys, don't forget to throw out some mailbag questions if you think of them.

sfgiantsflgators Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 June 2, 2007 Five Late Runs by Philly Hand Giants Sixth Straight Loss Having lost five straight, the Giants sent out Noah Lowry (4-2) to face off against Phillies pitcher Fred- dy Garcia (2-4). The Phillies jumped out to an early 2-0 lead after two innings; but San Francisco bat- tled back, scoring five runs in the third inning to send Garcia packing. The Phillies continued to battle, pulling within one after five innings thanks in large part to a stellar 4.1 inning relief performance by Adam Eaton in which he allowed no runs on just two hits. Then, in the se- venth, Philadelphia took over with a three-run frame that featured a home run from Ryan Howard, his 14th of the season. The Phillies would add two more in the eighth to secure a 9-5 victory. Scoring B1: Coste solo HR B2: Garcia single scores Bourn T3: Vizquel reaches on an error by the catcher, Lowry scores; Bonds sacrifice fly scores Winn; Aurilia single scores Vizquel; EME double scores Linden B3: Helms double scores Utley B5: Rollins double scores Victorino B7: Howard solo HR; Helms double scores Utley; Rowand grounds out to short, Helms scores B8: Victorino two run HR W – Eaton (4-1) L – Lowry (4-4) S - Madson (1) Player of the Game: Omar Vizquel 2-4, 2B, RBI, BB June 2, 2007 Boxscore June 3, 2007 Bonds Hits 753, Howard Drives in Five, Giants Fall 15-4 For about 10 minutes, it looked as if the Giants had a good chance to break their six-game skid. But, despite a solo home run by Omar Vizquel in the first inning, the Phillies weren't intimidated. Philadelphia answered quickly, using a three-run home run by Ryan Howard to take a 3-1 lead after one inning. They would add one more run in the third before blowing the game open with a nine-run fifth inning. Two-run singles by Chris Coste and Ryan Howard highlighted the game-changing inning. Barry Bonds hit career home run number 753 in the sixth inning, putting him within two of Hank Aaron for first on the all-time home run list. His home run was just one of four Giants hits on the night; three of which came in the form of the long ball. The loss was the sixth straight for San Francisco and dropped them below .500 for the first time since May 16. Scoring T1: Vizquel solo HR B1: Howard three run HR B3: Rowand sacrifice fly scores Utley Bottom of fifth - scoring data not available T6: Bonds two run HR B6: Coste solo HR B7: Utley solo HR T9: Ortmeier solo HR W – Myers (4-7) L – Morris (2-5) Player of the Game: Barry Bonds 1-3, HR, 2 RBI June 3, 2007 Boxscore June 4, 2007 Giants Fall 3-2, Swept in Second Straight Series San Francisco took the field today hoping to end their seven-game skid without the assistance of slug- ger Barry Bonds. Taking the hill for the Giants was rookie hurler Jonathan Sanchez, who entered the contest 2-4. The Phillies countered with their own young lefty, phenom Cole Hamels (3-3). A two-run home run by Aaron Rowand got Philadelphia out in front early in the second inning; but the Giants answered with runs in the third and fifth innings to tie the game 2-2. The third inning run would come on a double by Sanchez, scoring Kevin Frandsen who had reached safely with a double of his own. San Francisco threatened in the seventh, loading the bases with one out against Hamels and Eude Brito. Two of the runners were the responsibilty of Brito as he walked the first two batters he faced. It took just one pitch for Brito to steady the ship as he got Bengie Molina to ground into a 4-6-3 double play, ending the inning. Philadelphia speedster Michael Bourn sealed the game for the Phillies in the bottom of the seventh, leading the inning off with a double before stealing third to get within 90 feet of the lead. Bourn would score on a ground ball by Chase Utley and Tom Gordon would throw a perfect ninth, securing a Phillies sweep and sending the Giants to their eighth straight loss. Scoring B2: Rowand two run HR T3: Sanchez double scores Frandsen T5: Linden single scores Frandsen B7: Coste grounds out to third, Bourn scores W – Brito (3-0) L – Sanchez (2-5) S - Gordon (14) Player of the Game: Kevin Frandsen 3-4, 2B June 4, 2007 Boxscore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfgiantsflgators Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 June 4, 2007 M's Sign Niekro The Seattle Mariners have signed former Giants prospect Lance Niekro to a minor-league contract. Niekro, who was placed on waivers on May 21 to make room for the promotion of Nate Schierholtz, struggled to find his place on the Giants roster. Niekro is the son of former major leaguer Joe Niekro and the nephew of Hall of Fame pitcher Phil Niekro. The Mariners will place him in Class-AAA Tacoma.

sfgiantsflgators Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 Good News: I got two shiny new, fast-as-hell hard drives. Bad News: Said hard drives were purchased to replace one particular hard drive that had all my pictures, video clips, and a certain MVP file that is needed to continue a certain thread here at mvpmods.com. Long story short, I'm going to go through the "Hi-Res Photos" thread and get some of my pictures back since I can't play my dynasty anymore. Thank God my music was on the non-shitty drive - but music can't be used as a dynasty file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsox Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 That's too bad. I will most definitely miss your writings. Even though I didn't post frequently, I was looking over this thread a lot. Would like to see you start another dynasty, though it is always hard to start over on something that you had spent a lot of time on in the past. And it looks like you are really busy with work. One thing I would like from you, if you were to post a dynasty again, would be for another Total Classics Tournament. It was really interesting the first time you did it, though not sure if it would be the same a second time around. Anyway, take care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfgiantsflgators Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 Glad you enjoyed it while it lasted. I'm still pretty steamed about losing this dynasty - second only to my TCM tournament in my heart. Work has been pretty hectic lately, so I'll probably let that cool down before I think about any other dynasties. I've thought about another Total Classics battle, but I'm with you in that it probably wouldn't go over as well the second time around. We'll see what happens. For now I'll just enjoy yours and JR's...and sulk for a couple more days. Thanks to everyone who followed this - sorry we won't be able to see how it ended.
